Simpleton Galore Lyrics

Everything I glimpse and see

Was everything that I could be

But I hid it deep within myself

The biggest lie I told to me

Is we're entitled to our dreams

But the price is steep in and of itself

I wanted to stop ya before you leave

But my lungs were cold and I couldn't scream

Electroshock and therapy

Nothing would bring you back to me

I guess this was never meant to be

Just liquor stores and tabs for me

Cuz I'm the simpleton galore

Always wanting something more

Me and God are keeping the score

I remember when you broke with me

I went and buried that diamond ring

In a dresser drawer all by itself

I remember months of urgent pleas

To forget that past and forgive me

But all my calls went on a shelf

I buried myself then in a band

Had a string of one night stands

Trying to get back what I had lost

But everything it has a cost

I turned my life into a catacomb

I was better off all alone

Because I'm the Simpleton Galore

Always wanting something more

Me and God are keeping score

Of this I'm certain

My sins they tore the curtain

For the umpteenth I plead and pray

But God just rolls his eyes and decides to get liquored up again

If you told me how my life played out

I'd raise an eyebrow in earnest doubt

But then everything would make sense to me

Now that we are at the end

We'd all love to begin again

And fix the faults that hurt ourselves

Gray hair and defining lines

They all come from those better times

Of when we bragged about ourselves

But no one listened no one helped

And of all the big hypocrisies

The one that really bothers me is that

Cuz I'm the Simpleton Galore

Always wanting something more

Me and God are keeping score

Maybe someday our skin will touch again

Cuz I'm the simpleton galore

Always wanting something more

Me and God are keeping the score
